Please give as much notice as possible. We cannot guarantee re-formatting or translation of papers before the date of a particular meeting. Committee rooms are fitted with induction loops to assist people with hearing impairment. If you require any assistance with this please speak to the Democratic Services Officer. Public Forum Members of the public may make a written statement ask a question or present a petition to most meetings. Your statement or question will be sent to the Committee and be available in the meeting room one hour before the meeting. Please submit it to [email protected] or Democratic Services Section, City Hall, College Green, Bristol BS1 5UY. The following requirements apply: The statement is received no later than 12.00 noon on the working day before the meeting and is about a matter which is the responsibility of the committee concerned. The question is received no later than 5pm three clear working days before the meeting. Any statement submitted should be no longer than one side of A4 paper. If the statement is longer than this, then for reasons of cost, only the first sheet will be copied and made available at the meeting. For copyright reasons, we are unable to reproduce or publish newspaper or magazine articles that may be attached to statements. By participating in public forum business, we will assume that you have consented to your name and the details of your submission being recorded and circulated to the committee. This information will also be made available at the meeting to which it relates and placed in the official minute book as a public record (available from Democratic Services). Page 5 www.bristol.gov.uk We will try to remove personal information such as contact details. However, because of time constraints we cannot guarantee this, and you may therefore wish to consider if your statement contains information that you would prefer not to be in the public domain. Public Forum statements will not be posted on the council’s website. Other committee papers may be placed on the council’s website and information in them may be searchable on the internet. Process during the meeting: Public Forum is normally one of the first items on the agenda, although statements and petitions that relate to specific items on the agenda may be taken just before the item concerned. There will be no debate on statements or petitions. The Chair will call each submission in turn. When you are invited to speak, please make sure that your presentation focuses on the key issues that you would like Members to consider. This will have the greatest impact. Your time allocation may have to be strictly limited if there are a lot of submissions. This may be as short as one minute. If there are a large number of submissions on one matter a representative may be requested to speak on the groups behalf. If you do not attend or speak at the meeting at which your public forum submission is being taken your statement will be noted by Members. For further information about procedure rules please refer to our Constitution https://www.bristol.gov.uk/how-council-decisions-are-made/constitution Webcasting/ Recording of meetings Members of the public attending meetings or taking part in Public forum are advised that all Full Council and Cabinet meetings and some other committee meetings are now filmed for live or subsequent broadcast via the council's webcasting pages. The whole of the meeting is filmed (except where there are confidential or exempt items) and the footage will be available for two years. If you ask a question or make a representation, then you are likely to be filmed and will be deemed to have given your consent to this. If you do not wish to be filmed you need to make yourself known to the webcasting staff. However, the Openness of Local Government Bodies Regulations 2014 now means that persons attending meetings may take photographs, film and audio record the proceedings and report on the meeting (Oral commentary is not permitted during the meeting as it would be disruptive). Members of the public should therefore be aware that they may be filmed by others attending and that is not within the council’s control.
